I use WinaeroTweaker to change the title bar colors - haven't encountered any issues with it enabled.


don't want to use any 3rd party app for this. just followed a tutorial and it's working. sadly i can't change the font color. dark font on dark background isn't that nice... so how to change the font color now. Very Happy

/edit
seems like it's impossible to change the font color... really sad. Sad
don't want to live with those white title bars but also i don't want dark on dark text/background. fuck you ms for stealing my time for such an easy setting/option

Windows 8.1 had the same problem. I used to have my theme as dark as possible but I'm currently using a blueish color (a bit lighter than the hump color) and it' still works with the black font.


PC: Yes. Console: No.

i would advice against using winaerotweaker
it has options CHANGED AS DEFAULT without notifying the user
while not intentionally evil, it is evil design practice and the developers should be shot for it


i toggled the updates with gpedit but it kept constantly nagging me to update so i just disabled the update service
seemed to shut her up

Freeware
Current Version: 1.0.0.0
Supports Windows 10
German and English user interface (depending on the system language)
Clean and simple user interface
Lets you easily protect your privacy



DoNotSpy10 is the world’s first antispy tool for Windows 10. Its straight-forward user interface allows you to manage
how Windows 10 respects their privacy. Microsoft introduces many new “diagnostic” features with Windows 10. These services help Microsoft collect
usage data and thus to provide a better service. However, collecting and sharing your data with one of the world’s leading technology companies
puts your privacy at risk. There are services which are able to record your keyboard input, your speech and any other actions of the user. Others share
your WiFi credentials with your contact or connect you to networks shared by your contacts.
DoNotSpy10 provides you with the opportunity to easily manage what you want to share and what not. While many of the settings represent what
you can configure using the Settings and various other apps, there are also tweaks that are not easily accessible through the apps Windows provides.
DoNotSpy10 combines them all in one application – it’s time to protect your privacy, let’s start!

The hilarity continues... OpenDNS blocks their URL at the DNS level due to phishing threats and both Sucuri *and* Norton classifies the entire domain as critically infected. 3E74; any "anti spyware" tool that BUNDLES ad/spyware with it is massively suspect from the get-go... but even their SITE is blocked? I'd check your machine mate, seriously.

ummm, ok..
nothing in my system thats bad.. i did a check, also i used it in teh virtual box, also the download.. but i didnt get a warning.. lol.

anyway, all fine here.. didnt know that. i just wanted to post teh news..

oh well, i guess i was too fast with teh posting..

but the install and everything was fine, nothing fishy or whatever, everything looks clean and i checked via processMonitor too....

also, im pretty shure nothing happened, apps, exe, bat, etc etc cant even use my keyboard, monitor, etc before i dont allow it..

(using comodo firewall with defense here, set to PARANOID + all trusted sources have been deleted out of teh trusted list. so even MS is considered as bad in my defense, every thing gets checked by me before it is allowed to do anything in teh system-yeah, call me paranoid Smile but i feel saver with the "trust no one" attitude.) an this on an Virtual machine.. yep, im shure..
oh, and same goes for teh firewall, nothing gets out or in without my consent..i even block microsoft, its only allowed for local network,, like seeing if the router is there and communication between router and pc..like, svchost and such..but no further. it doesnt even smell the real internet...
it took me a fucking loong time to set this up the way it is.. my firewall blocks around 2000 connections each day (to microsoft) lol... and everything is working as iit should Smile, even a bit snapier...

i guess im with janz on this what he sayd..

oh well... should i delete my Post about teh tool?

Why use some 3rd party tool in the first place?!?!?! just use the scripts out there

Use this one for instance

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/63498-Windows-10-TNBT-(The-next-big-tweak)-official-thread

Does far more than that suspect piece of shit. People taking the easy way out cause it has GUI.

You even said it yourself 'Dont trust anyone' what you cant see or read could hurt you.

here, i finished the "Anti MS" hosts list..
ill put it on pastebin..

--> http://pastebin.com/krsQTypn

WARNING: this (with an modded dnsapi.dll) will/should block all MS connections that we know of atm...

of course there wil be new adresses, so it needs updating..

but all in all, its very good so far, tested one day, and nothing got out..

Of course, UPDATE wont work haha, this is for teh truly paranoid i guess..

the DNSAPI.DLL, hmm, dunno if i should upload the edited ones, or IF i should make an tutorial so everyone can do it by himself.. its a system file non teh less.. (safety reasons)

WHat is it you guys want?

the PDF looks pretty ok, lots of stuff..

I would like to present to you Windows 10 Full Optimization guide that includes eradication of Windows 10 spying, bloatware, worthless features, and prevents Windows Update from downloading drivers.

This guide was NOT written/created by me. I simply summarized it for easy application.

Please read the Optimization Guide.pdf to see which tweaks you may want to remove from Optimization Guide Tweak.cmd file (which I included in Windows 10 Full Optimization Guide.zip archive).

Additionally, I suggest disabling IP Helper service, Windows Search service, and TCP/IP BIOS Helper service.

Here's the stand-alone Optimization Guide.pdf
--> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93831976/Optimization%20Guide.pdf
and here's the Windows 10 Full Optimization guide that includes .cmd, .reg, .exe and other files types to help you fully optimize Windows 10.
--> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93831976/Windows%2010%20Full%20Optimization.zip

If you follow this guide and apply these tweaks - you'll have one hell of lean, mean, optimized, and fast OS, the best MS OS to date.
